I have a fungal infection in the hip and pelvic area. I have used Fourderm Cream and taken Itraconazole tablets, but there is no improvement. What should I do next?
If your fungal infection in the hip and pelvic area is not improving despite using Fourderm Cream and Itraconazole tablets, it may be because the cream contains a steroid, which can temporarily reduce redness but often worsens or masks fungal infections over time, so the next step is to stop self-treatment and consult a dermatologist who can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe a proper antifungal treatment (usually a plain antifungal cream without steroids and, if needed, the correct oral medicine and duration), while also keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton clothing, avoiding tight or sweaty garments, and not sharing towels, as resistant or recurrent fungal infections need the right medicine and duration to fully clear.
